which left here for Whitehall Friday
night, put back disabled this morning,
having been badly disabled and lost
one OF her crew. Other vessels put in

Completely Destroyed by Fire
stirring Scenes.
PORTLAND, Or, November 20.-A
dispatch from Astoria, Or, this even
ing, furnishes full particulars of the
burning of the new and splendid
stern-wheel steamer Telephone. The
boat was on her way from Portland to
Astoria, and had almost reached
the latter place when the dis
covery was made that she was on
fire. Fortunately for the passengers,
of whom over sixty we're on board, the
steamer was near the upper end OF the
town when the fire broke out. The
flames we're first seen CD the lower
deck, near the oil room.
THE FIRE SPREAD
with wonderful rapidity, owing to the
fast movement of the boat. Captain
scott, finding that the flames
were gaining very fast, suddenly
turned the prov of the steamer toward
the shore and ran at full speed
on the beach. The passengers all
acted with great GOODNESS. In less
than five minutes more every soul
would have been driven from the
boat. Every man, woman and child
got ashore without injury, except one
man, who was fatally burned. Only
three minutes elapsed from the first
discovery of the fire until the boat
was beached.
A GOOD RECORD.
The Telephone made the best run
ever accomplished between Portland
and Astoria, and was considered one
Of the fastest stern-wheel boats in the
world. The original cost of the
steamer was $4,000. She is in
sured for $4,000. In less than
thirty minutes from the Bleaching the
elegant steamer was burned to the
waters edge. The passengers lost all
their baggage, personal effects, etc.

one run each in the first inning, and
the Pioneers scored the second and
their last in the second inning. The
G. & MS scored second in the sixth
and second in the ninth, making the
score G. & MS. 5, Pioneers 2. Not

HAvERLYs VS.. ATLAS.
SACRAMENTO, November 20.-The
game of baseball here to-day, between
the Haverlys and Atlas, was won by
the latter after an interesting ten
inning contest. The Haverlys made
a gallant struggle and succeeded in
the ninth inning in closing the gap to
five runs and tieing the score. In the
tenth inning the ex-champions made
another run. and the Atlas came to
the bat amid great excitement. Two
men were soon out, but a tumble by
Donahue gave Meagher first. Mullee
then made q three-base hit and
Meagher scored. O'Day followed
with long hit to center and Mullee
made the winning run: Score: Hav.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 20.-At
the Central Park this afternoon, in
the presence Of $1,000 people, the
winter season of base ball, in which
the st. Louis Browns, the Chicagos
and Philadelphias will participate,
was inaugurated by the latter clubs.
The majority of those present were
disappointed, for poor game was
played, at least by the Philadelphias.
Errors which even amateurs would
not be guilty of followed in rapid sue
cession on the infield, while the crowd
prevented any attempt at ball-playing
on the part OF the outfielders. Neither
of the pitchers of the two clubs did
anything remarkable. Score: Chicago

PIONEERS VS.. G. & MS.
The Pioneers struggled at the
Haight-street grounds to-day to
wrest the victory from the Greenwood

pose. The game was a fine one and
the score was close, the consequence
being that the crowd,-there we're
about 5000 present-were kept in an
excited mood throughout. Van Hal

DID Yot EVER THINK OF THIs?-Ilere
is quiet description Of what every wom-
an has been or hopes to be-a bride. She
quits her home her parents, her compan-
ions her occupations, her amusements-
everything on which she had hitherto de-
pended for comfort, for affection, for
kindness, for pleasure. The parents by
whose advice she had been guided, the sis
tiers to whom she dared impart every en-
bryo thought and feeling the brother who
has played with her by turns, the counsel
DIR and counseled, and the younger chill
oren to whom she has hitherto been the
mother and playmate, all to be fOrsaken
at one fell stroke every tie is loOscned,
the spring of every hope and action is
changed, and yet she flies with joy into
the untrodden path before her. Buoyed
up by the confidence of requitted love, she
bids a fond, grateful adieu to the life that
is past, and turns with excited hopes and
Joyous anticipations Of happiness to come.
Then woe to the man who can blight such
fair hopes, and who can, coward-like,
break the illusions that have won her, and
destroy the respect that love had inspired.
